The long-term goal of our research is to better understand neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and their modulation by top-down processes such as selective attention. We combine functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), behavioral and electrophysiological studies in humans with single-cell physiology and fMRI in non-human primates. Using these techniques, we currently follow two major lines of research: studies on the neural basis of visual attention and comparative studies on the functional organization of human and macaque visual cortex.
